Armoured Supply Carrier
Armoured Supply Carriers,[1a] or also known as Armoured Supply Crawlers (ASC),[1b] are resupply tank vehicles that Space Marines use to transport supplies to their forces during battles.[1a]
Description
These vehicles are vital when Space Marines can not rely on air or space-based supply systems, due to facing dense terrain, adverse weather conditions or because of the air superiority of their enemies.[1a] ASCs are specifically designed for this task and have reinforced armor to protect their vital cargo, as they travel through contested areas. The vehicles are also equipped with high-torque engines and a Dozer Blade, which allow ASCs to plow through any obstacles that may block their path. Their crews consist of a driver, a gunner who controls the vehicles' Twin-Linked Heavy Bolter turret, Servo-Arms to speed up loading or unloading times at their rear and upper hatches, as well as a group of Servitors. These Servitors ensure ASCs remain functioning and they can also carry out any repairs the vehicles need. Should the need arise, Space Marines can also use ASCs as transports for their forces.[1b]
Trivia
The Armoured Supply Carrier was created by the Games Workshop employee Ty Finocchiaro and was featured on its old website.[1a]
